I am a Doctor of Marriage & Family Therapy (DMFT) with over 20 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults across a range of community-based and clinical settings. My passion lies in supporting individuals and families in fostering emotional wellness, strengthening relationships, and navigating life’s challenges with resilience. I earned my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from the American Schools of Professional Psychology and my Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chaminade University of Honolulu. I hold active licensure in Hawaiʻi and bring a culturally responsive, evidence-based approach to my therapeutic work. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel empowered to heal, grow, and thrive. Throughout my career, I have provided individualized, in-home therapy and support to both biological and foster parents of children from birth to age three, as well as therapeutic services for children experiencing emotional and behavioral challenges such as anxiety, depression, and life stressors. My clinical background includes evidence-based treatment modalities such as Functional Family Therapy and Multisystemic Therapy. In 2013, I became certified as an Attachment Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) therapist through the University of Delaware, deepening my specialization in early childhood attachment and development. In addition to my clinical work, I have served as a school-based therapist, supporting students’ mental and emotional well-being. My leadership experience also includes serving as a clinical supervisor and program director, where I have guided multidisciplinary teams and promoted high-quality, compassionate care for children and families.
